While there is a tremendous amount of information on dog health on the Internet, it is very difficult to find well edited and complete information all in one place. Our goal is to engage professional editors, writers and dog health professionals to create content that provides the best information we can research on each health issue. Where possible we will provide information on both conventional and homeopathic treatment approaches.
The contents of the Dog-Health Guide Site, such as text, graphics, images, and other material contained on the Dog-Health-Handbook.com Site ("Content") are for informational purposes only. The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your Veterinarian or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the Dog Health Handbook Site! Health concerns often vary by breed, age and how a dog has been raised. Only an in person evaluation can take these important factors into consideration.
If you think your dog is having a medical emergency, call your Veterinarian immediately. The Dog Health Handbook does not recommend or endorse any specific tests, Veterinarians, products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on the Site. Reliance on any information provided by The Dog Health Handbook, Dog Health Handbook employees and others appearing on the Site at the invitation of Dog Health Handbook such as reader contributed content, or other visitors to the Site is solely at your own risk.

The Federal Trade Commission requires that we disclose any relationship we have between a product manufacturer or service provider when we write about a product or service.
Here are the guidelines we operate under at the Dog Health Guide:
These are good rules and practices in today’s digital world. It’s important for you to understand the relationship between a person writing about a product and the manufacturer or service provider.
If you don’t see a disclosure policy on a blog or website, that site or blog may be violating the law or at the very least the Code of Ethics.
The opinions on the Dog Health Handbook, particularly those contributed by our readers, may not necessarily reflect the views of the Dog Health Handbook editorial staff. We do our best to not include any questionable information.
Always check with your veterinarian who will know the health condition of your dog and who can make recommendations that make sense based on an in-person examination. The purpose of the Handbook is to inform pet owners so that they can ask intelligent questions and participate as a partner in the care of their dog.
